i forgot a few things about being here...how much i MISS seeing crepe myrtles and magnolia
trees everyday....the humidity (yep, didn't think i missed it, but i do!)...hearing southern accents
at every turn, and driving for miles and miles and seeing nothing but trees.
it's good to be back.

i have been collaborating with my friend jen on a few projects in her home.
(in fact the master bedroom design plan that i posted a few weeks ago was for
HER master bedroom...more to come on that for SURE.)
she used my foyer and study in house #5 as inspiration to create her entry and
her black library. we are finally done with the library, and i thought i would show
you a little peek:

i am in LOVE with the wallpaper on the ceiling! we chose to paint the small vertical
wall portion on the inside of the trey ceiling a soft black to help the wall disappear
and allow the wallpaper to take center stage. we also added the imperial trellis curtains.
i actually have some REALLY exciting news about this project, but i have to wait a
little while to tell y'all...jen and i are super excited, though! we have a great time working
together, and i love every single one of the projects we have tackled together.
anyway, what do you think? should jen and i run away together and start a design firm?

i was really excited when my client was on board to do a coffered ceiling in the great room of their house. the ceilings are really high (18 feet), and i wanted to add some texture and character, and help
visually bring the ceiling down a bit. to help, we also plan on painting the inside of the coffers a rich, dark color. i am really pleased with the way it turned out! the trim carpenters did an amazing job of laying everything out and getting the scale right.

if they ever get tired of looking at their gorgeous coffered ceiling, they can look at the VIEW.
not bad, huh?

i recently completed this style plan for a client all the way in australia!
this was my first e-design client from another continent, and i was pretty
excited. my client is style savvy gal who needed a plan
to update her bedroom. she already has a bed, 2 night stands, a dresser and
desk in a crisp white, and hardwood floors (yay!)...we just need to inject some
personality, color and glamour into the space.

she let me take a peek at her inspiration file that she has online, and i quickly
noticed a few patterns: flowers with fresh greenery, soft blue skies, and leopard.
i used those themes to create this design plan:
if you are looking to upgrade your mattress, you should look into buying one from a reputable temper mattresses dealer.

as a courtesy to my e-design clients, i do not post sources for my design planson my blog, if there is a particular item that you are interested in, please e-mail me.

interested in working together to create a more functional and beautiful space? email meat autumnclemons@yahoo.com for more information. i am still working on thetabs in my header, including the "services" tab...it should be finished by the nextsolar eclipse!! har, har. no...but seriously, i am slowly working on it and plan tohave it done in the next few weeks.thanks for your patience!
